Divorce Time 16
In the following years, he founded his company and took charge of the Henderson Group. Under his leadership, Henderson Group effortlessly reached new heights.
Who in the circle wouldn't give Thome a big thumbs up? Plus, Thome's looks were nothing short of striking
So, it wasn't surprising to Connie that Charlene, a genius in her right, had fallen hard for Thorne, another genius. But Thome could be ruthlessly cold to those he disliked
Realizing Thome had misunderstood and mistreated Charlene's genuine affection for years, Connie completely lost her enchantment with him
She knew how deeply Charlene loved Thome. Over the years, she had tried to persuade Charlene to think about getting a divorce, but Charlene had always silently shaken her head in disagreement.
So, it caught her off guard when Charlene finally initiated the divorce. She couldn't finish her breakfast and looked at Charlene with a heavy heart. "What happened?"
Given Charlene's steadfast love for Thome, Connie knew something must have occurred for Charlene to make such a decision.
After pondering, Charlene said, "Seriously, it's nothing big. Maybe it's just the buildup of disappointments. I suddenly felt exhausted and wanted a divorce."
Connie knew Charlene well enough to understand that once she made up her mind, even if she couldn't fully let go of Thome, she wouldn't easily change it. She was serious.
Connie went over to hug Charlene. "It's okay. Maybe it's for the best."
Charlene nodded. "Yeah."
After breakfast, Charlene left for work.noveldrama
Before moving out, although she and Thorne worked at the same place, they always left the house at different times and never commuted together.
Plus, he was always so guarded around her that sometimes they wouldn't run into each other at the office for a month. Now that she had moved out, she bumped into him two days in a row. Thorne looked as dashing and composed as ever, and just like before, his face grew colder whenever he saw her.
Just like the day before, Thorne glanced at her before looking away.
With a lowered gaze, Charlene softly said, "Mr. Henderson," and stepped into the company only after he had walked away.
She didn't know if Vesta was in the office, and frankly, she didn't care. She focused on her work in silence.
At noon, her grandmother called her.
"Charlene, we received a lamb from the city. The weather's getting colder. Why don't you come over for dinner tonight? I'll have someone prepare a roast lamb feast for you."
Hearing her grandmother's kind voice warmed Charlene's heart. "Okay, I'll come over after work."
Besides the morning, Charlene didn't encounter Thorne for the rest of the day. As she was about to leave work on time, Coy handed her a document and told her to deal with it urgently.
Charlene paused. Though Coy said it was urgent, a glance told Charlene the document wasn't needed immediately.
Previously, she would have accepted the task with a smile and promised to complete it quickly, not wanting to stand out. But now, she was no longer striving for perfection, especially not in matters related to Thorne. She was tired. She only wanted to go home early to spend time with her grandmother, not work overtime.
She had always tried to maintain a good relationship with Thorne's secretaries.
But it seemed unnecessary anymore, especially since Coy had unfairly accused her the day before. She didn't have the magnanimity to act as if nothing had happened.
She looked at Coy, her tone cold, "I won't be doing this work right now. I'm off the clock."
